I guess I am going to give this a try. I am going to get the lisle tool as well in case I do end up breaking one. I am surprised after the Ford TSB 8-6-7 that these are really that easy to remove with using an impact.
I have a sports track 2003. Any suggestion on how to remove the right side plug the furtherest one back. I can not even see it. The air cond. carp is almost against the plug. Theres not enough space to fit a wrachet. Any suggestion ???
An induction service is like cleaning the injectors, except with an induction cleaning, the cleaning solution is entered into the intake system to clean the carbon from the intake, valves and combustion chamber.
@srmastertech Which cans of product do you use specifically and what pressure do you use? I'd imagine it is best to get it as wet as possible so that it can start to soften the carbon. I am going to be doing phasers and plugs in a '04 with 185000 miles. I am not sure yet if the plugs have been replaced.
Hi does this only affect the 3 valve version? i have a 04 expedition with the 5.4 2v engine. PLEASE LET ME KNOW ANY INFO YOU HAVE (ANYONE!!) THANKS!!! SO MUCH!! :)
@fatbradlehs This is for the 3 valve, 5.4 liter engine only. The 2 valve engine does not have a problem with plugs breaking during removal. The 2 valve engine has problems with the plugs coming loose. Be sure to add anti seize to the threads, and torque to 23 ftlbs, not the noted 18ftlbs.
I just used this method on my 06 F-150 and found it to work very well. However, I did break one plug toward the front of the motor. Used the leisle extraction tool and it worked as promised. The only reason I think the plug broke was because I was using an impact with less than 200ft lbs. Had no issues with stripping threads. I must say I was very skeptical and was dreading this plug change but when all was said and done it was quite easy. Thanks srmastertech!!!
Sorry to hear that one did break. A weak impact could have helped the plug to break. The way I always feel about it, if its going to break, its going to do just that. The Leisle tool works great until the tool break and you have to extract that too!
Sorry I don't have a video showing the plugs on a 6.8lit. There was much simpler than the 3 valve. The fuel rails will not have to be removed. The coils are held down by a 7mm bolt. The coils will come out and you will be able to reach all the spark plugs.
I did this Saturday on a 07 Expedition and it worked no problem. The only thing different was that I used 3/8 1/2 u joint, extention, 1/2" impact wrench. I ran two tanks of gas with Z Max to melt out the carbon. All 8 spun right out. I replaced the plugs with Motorcraft SP 515 which is the "good" replacement plug. Runs smooth and was worth the effort. The back 2 plugs were fun to get to, but the special 5.4 plug wrench, U joint, and extention really helped here. Thanks for the information.
whats the point of puting the anti sieze on the bottom portion after the threads not being a smart ass just trying to learn im bout to do this next week.
@anthonypotter64 so the carbon doesn't collect and will make for easy removal in the future, thats the problem area for these plugs, they get gummed up and force you to twist or torque it and end up breaking the plug
Thanks for the reply. The pickup is a 2004 but has less than 55,000 miles on it. I thought I would change the plugs while it is still relatively low mileage. I'll have the engine hot before removal. If I buy a 3/8" impact, what kind of torque rating should I look for? They are anywhere from 50 to 250 ft lbs depending on price. Thanks for all of your help.
I would still recommend performing the service, even at 55K, even at 30K. This first year design made the bore that the plug is goes through too small. It will be prone to getting carbon in the gap between the plug and bore it sits in. This is what causes the plugs to stick and break during removal. Performing the service right before removal will allow the cleaner to loosen the carbon. A plug can still break still be able to extract I would use a good impact at least 200ftlbs.
Do I need to do the flush before trying the impact wrench removal on a 5.4 with 55,000 miles. I'm buying my mother in laws pickup and want to change plugs right away. I would rather not do the flush if possible. Thanks for the great video. Ford gagages should use this procedure too.
With the low miles on the truck, If it's an 07 and up, you shouldn't have to worry about performing the induction/injection service. For the 04 to 06 models, before the production change in the head will be more prone to sticking and I would recommend on these before you remove the plugs and remove the plugs on the hot engine will give you the best results. Ford has redesigned the plugs with a hardened shell to prevent this and don't forget to add anti seize on plug & shell.
On most any vehicle i buy with alum heads this is the first thing to do, i actually was lookin at getting another Volvo XC90 took it home for the nite from the dealer and tried to get plugs out and one was seized , took back next day , told them i would buy it if they sent it out for a injector service and plug change , they agreed but called next day to say it fore the time being would not be available, the dealership broke 2 off in the head...WHEW!!!!
great tip, all 8 came out without any problem. back 2 are kinda hard to get to, but it was harder to get them back in than to get them out with impact gun. truck had a little over 105k miles with original plugs. I disconected the computer, a few of the wires, and vac tubes and did not have any issue getting 3/8 impact inthere. Thanks again.
You make it looks soooo easy, I just bought an 06 F150 5.4 with 128,000 drove great until I bought it and hitched the boat up, now I am noticing a miss, have no idea if the plugs have been changed. What type of induction kit do you recommend?
Since you only felt the misfiring under a load, I suspect you may a ignition coil that is causing the misfire and not the actual spark plug. If the plug fails, it would misfire more often. It's still could be a failed plug, but the coil may have cause the plug to fail. The belt way to tell is to remove any ignition coil. On a original spark plug, the tip of the plug is painted. If there is no paint, the plug has been replaced. I recommend BG 44K for fuel induction cleaning.

If you don't like them, don't watch!
Thank you so much for this video, I did the plugs in my wifes 07 Expedition today and didn't have any problems at all. I did go ahead and soak them with PB Blaster for about 15 minutes just because it made me feel safer. Anyway, the important part is, all came out in one piece and only took about 30 minutes start to finish. Thanks again...
yes i did try, and yes for the most part it worked! Both back plugs broke, probably because i didn't prep like you did (moving harness, ect.). I would definitely do another one with no worries. When i was done had a bad miss, of course both the plugs i installed in the back were bad outta the box. I knew going into it that i would have trouble with the 2 back cylinders because they're the hardest of course!
I thank you for your video and now I have the confidence in trying your method. Once you said that you have done over 100 vehicles at a 100% success rate has prompted me to try your method. So far I have manually removed the two on each side closest to the cabin. I'll follow your method with the remaining ones that have been soaked in a mix of PB Blaster and CArb Cleaner. I'll let you know how it goes.
Good evening! I hope you were able to remove the rest of your plugs with no problems. I also hope that the 2 broken ones came out out too. I have had great luck performing this and I feel they still could break, but they just havent!
My air impact tool was kind of weak (250 lbs), and I only was able to remove one using your method. Since the impact tool I was using was weak I decided to use the rachets. It took me two days including soaking time but I was successful and I did not break one single plug. My truck is a 05 F150 Crew Cab with 87K miles, and now with the new spark plugs the misfiring is gone (transmission shop claimed it was a faulty torque converter and not a spark plug problem.
What is important is that you were able to replace all of your plugs. A misfire can be a similar symptom, but a converter is more of a shudder, not the buck feel as in a misfire. Great job!
wow that's amazing, lol. i have an f-150 at work now, 1st plug came out ok 2nd broke :(. Got the lilse (sp?) extraction tool, left it to sit with pb overnight. I'm a little aprehensive about using your method but looks amazing, too good to be true. Hope it works!
Performing the injector service depends on the mileage in my opinion. If a customer came in with over 100K miles, yes your really do want to perform the service. If less than that, like at 80K, there should be enough carbon build up to justify the service and the plugs come out just as shown.
How many times would you say you did that with impact? I am currently pricing spark plug change for my '05 f-150 and its ridiculous what they want, from what i seen you do, im stunned at how easy you got them out. P.S. Do you lube them at all before taking out?
I have been using this procedure for about a year now, probably about a 100 vehicles over the year. It has worked every time. Before this, I always used Ford's procedure and i would always break at least one, and sometimes all. Once broke, I could still get them out, but it just took time to extract them. I charge 1 hour of time to replace your plugs and as you can see in the video, it doesn't take 20 minutes. Plugs are expensive up to $12 each. Total cost $90 labor, $80 parts.
@bmdouble Great to hear it works for you! I didn't know the even made butterfly impacts anymore! I have one that came from my grandfather, but I haven't used it in years!
I use the revised OEM plug. The revised plug has a hardened steel shell now and with the use of anti seize on the threads and body, the breaking should no longer happen.
The plugs have been redesigned with a hardened steel shell. They were put into production on engine from 2010 and up. The newer ones should not break off, yet I haven't broken any!
What kind of induction cleaning do you use Rusty? Is it BG? Do you think seafoam would work. The last truck I did I got seven out using ford's recommended procedure then the last one broke on me.
Just when I thought #s 1+2 on my 92 E350 were bad, I see this. I am gonna really look over my next truck for little nightmares. First time 1 and 2 took me 6 hours. Now I do them all in 30 min.
It does happen, far too often. They could still break, even using this method. I have had great luck doing it this way and I wanted everyone to know that it works!
great vid rusty!i had to learn this trick the hard way,but your right it does work great.thanks for the advice a few weeks ago on the 6.0 truck i was working on.you were right put a f.i.c.m on it and fixed it right up!GOD bless you bro!
Look at the shit on those spark plug threads! I don't understand how a company can do so well building shit like that, So hard to work on.

just did this the same way :-) a few days ago. with a "cold" motor do you always do it when motor is at opp Temp?

I prefer to do this at operating temp. with it all at temp, it just feels easier when removing compaird to a cold engine.

I believe that if they added anti seize during first assembly, they wouldn't have had a problem.
